To ensure that this internet portal functions properly, we sometimes store small files—known as cookies—on your device. This is common practice for most large websites.
What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a web portal leaves on your computer, tablet, or smartphone when you visit it. This allows the portal to “remember” certain entries and settings (e.g., login, language, font size, and other display preferences) for a certain period of time, so you don't have to re-enter them each time you visit and navigate the portal.
Control over cookies
You can control and/or delete cookies as you wish. You can find out how here: aboutcookies.org. You can delete all cookies stored on your computer and set most browsers to prevent cookies from being stored. However, you may then have to manually adjust some settings each time you visit a site and accept that some functions may be impaired.
